One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in West Tawakoni who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
